him we were sorry that the high water
would keep us from inspecting his fine
swamp timber, having gone there for that
purpose. To our surprise, he told us that
this need not interfere in the least, and that
he had an old gray mule that knew the
swamps better than he or any one else; and
that We could ride her, and If
trouble came, whether we got lost
or waterbound, we must give her the
rens and she would be sure to bring us
home safe; that she could walk a log as good
as dog; that he had on several occasions,
when these Sudden freshets came, (his cattle
being in the swamps and in great danger of
being drowned, sent mis- mule after them,
saying, "Jano, go bring the cows home )"
The mule, seeming to understand. would at
once start for the swamp. This mule has
been known to cross a log when it could not
be seen, being two or three feet below the
surface. Having done SO she would proceed
TO herd and collect all the cows. After that
she would make a loud bray and start for
the house. The cattle would follow i'll single
file across this log to their masters house.

A Daring Diamond Thief.

From the Newark News.
4 big diamond robbery was com
mitted yesterday afternoon in John
ston's jewelry store on the Bowery,
New York, that startled alike the
dealers in valuables and the Metropol-
itan police. The Job has all the snap
and dash Of the famous robberies of
the past that the authorities have
fOndly believed to be impossible in
these days. Its audacity is only less
wonderful than the fact OF its entire
success. j. II. Johnston's jewelry
store at $50 Bowery is an old.estab
lished and well-known institution.
At 5:30yesterday afternoon ayoung
man presented himself to the jewelry
counter. His appearance justified the
interest that he at once expressed IN
man Z. w. Baab, who attended upon
him, set q tray of rings before him
without hesitation. The stranger,
who was closely examining the tray OF
rings. suddenly seized it, and throwing
open the street door, dashed out.
The long counters opening was we'll
away from the door, and the clerk
had to run around to the gap to get
out. But he followed in pursuit of the
daring thief. The latter had good
start, and swung out OF the crowded
Bowery into Broome Street in three
steps. He was half way down to
Elizabeth Street when Baab got out
to the corner, and, though there were
numbers of people in Broome Street,
no one made any effort to stop the
fugitive. Baab SAW him tusn down
Elizabeth Street, the first corner, but
when hereached that point himself no
sign of the thief could be seen, and
there was no change in the usual life OF
that thoroughfare.
All the inquiries ofthe detectives and
iewelry store people did not result in
tracing the thief beyond the corner Of
Elizabeth and Broome Streets. The
rings were quite firmly fixed in the
tray, and none OF them was lost in the
run. The thief probably hid the whole
thing under his overcoat and then,
with the nerve sufficient to change his
run to cool walk, be able to escape
notice and ultimately reach some safe
harbor. The rings were valued at 3d.
600.

spooner's Bill for the Erection of n Bridge
Over Sturgeon Bay.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 22-Sen-
ator Spooner has introduced a bill 10
permit the Wisconsin Navigation Com
pany TO build a bridge across Sturgeon
Bay, in Door County. The bill was
introduced by request OF Mr. Minor
and other citizens OF Door County,
who want to head off q toll bridge
scheme. The county commissioners
OF Door County have granted to a
private firm the right to erect
md maintain as a toll bridge a
bridge across Surgeon Bay, and the
people around there are much excited
at the prospect OF having to pay toll.
They want Il free bridge when they get
any, and 1t is supposed that the Wis
cousin Navigation Company will build
p tree bridge, but what the Wisconsin
Navigation Compa y may be nobody
her5 knows. The county comm ;ssiou-
ers OF Door County may find out that
congress has somef hing to say about
the erection of bridges over navigable
waters for the Improvement OF which
Congress appr0priates money.

FATHER FIHEF RELEASED.
The Priest Who Interceded on Behalf of
Evicted Tenants.

The Priest Who Interceded on Behalf of
Evicted Tenants.
DUBLIN, Dec. 20.-Father Fahey, the
priest who early in September was SEN
fenced to six months Imprisonment
for refusing to give bail for good be-
havlor, was to-day released uncondi-
tionally from the Galway jail, in which
he had since been confined. 1t will be
remembered that Father Fahey inter-
ceded with Agent Lewis Of the Clanri-
carde estates in behalf OF a number OF
tenants belonging to the priests
parish in Woodford, and who
we're unable TO pay their rents.
Eviction was threatened and Father
Fahey went to save them from being
put into the roadway MIR. Lewis
treated the priest harshly, and as the
latter left he said to Mr. Lewis: "You
are hard hearted toward Gods poor.
May you repent OF it." Lewis at
once had the priest arrested and
charged him with threatening life, even
going SO far as to declare that Father
Fahey said he would have him
murdered. The magistrates ordered
Father Fahey TO give bail for good
behavior or go to Jail. He refused to
furnish bail, for the reason that it
would be regarded as an admission
that the charge against him was true
He was accordingly imprisoned. The
priest met with an ovation on his re-
lease. The city of Galway will be IL

w. NJ Hunt at a Grave.

[Arlo Bates in the Providence Journal.l
The late William M. Hunt is the
hero of innumerable anecdotes which
might with effect be compiled into a
biography in the style of Plutarch,
and among them is one told of his ad-
dress at the grave OF the unfortunate
artist, LIE Vasseur. lie Vasseur died
IN utter poverty, and IL was asserted
that he lacked the last Offices OF his
church because he had no money with
which to pay the priests fees. 1t is
perhaps probable that IA investiga-
tion might disclose another side to this
story, but at least Mr.. Hunt received
it as q fact that the church had been
ready to make bargain, but had in
sisted upon being paid for its services.
Mr.. Hunt and others of the dead man s
comrades accompanied the body to
the cemetery, and there disposed it in
the grave with the simplest ceremony
ever seen at public funeral in Massa-
chnsetts. The services consisted sim.
ply and solely in Mr.. Hunts saying,
with the most intense feeling:
With oil due respect for the cere-
monies which man in his limited wis
dom has seen fit to establish, and as
no bargain could be made for the
usual form OF burial-owing1 to the
fact that our comrade did not die in
the manner laid down by the church
in which he was baptized-and believ-
ing that the power that creates with
out bargain will receive as it gives,
we will lay this body in the earth.''
The effect Of these biting words, de-
livered as Mr.. Hunts spoke them, must
have been most striking, and the
scene both impressive and significant

fully arranged side by side, thus show
ing the six colors in each layer.
Although the work has to be done
carefully, a smart girl can PACK 300
boxes per day, and earn from "a to So
per week. A large number ofgirls were
thus ST work for the Christmas sea-
son, when the reporter visited the fac
tory. The Christmas candles are sold
IN neat boxes at ! 8 cents per pound,
the number varying according to
the size and weight of which there are
many grades. 4 few years ago these
same candles were sold Mt so cents
per pound wholesale.
The scrapings of the frames and the
sweepipgs of the floor are gathered up
at times, again melted in vats. and
made into a poorer kind ofcandle, the
dirt being taken out by the same meth

There is more labor IN making ooos5-
wax candles, as they have 10 be made
by hand Many are very peculiar in
shape, being apparently twisted. This
is done by hand molds, which open
into four pieces, held together by
hinges, and the wick passed through the
center. The wax must be Of the finest
kind, and the i'm purities having been
removed, it is washed and bleached In
the sun. This process is repeated
until the required color is obtained.
It is then put into steam heated
tank and melted. Two hoops, on
each of which can be suspended by
hooks leo wicks, revolve on upright
rods, fastened to the floor and ceiling
and hanging over this tank. Each
wick is covered with melted wax, by
means OF a ladle. As the hoops move
around the wax cools, go that when
the first again hangs over the tank it
is ready for the second, third and sub
sequent coatings. When colored can
dies are required the aniline dye is
added to the melted wax in the tank.
One man by the aid CT the two hoops,
can make in day 1,2O0candles, one.
fourth OF 8 pound each.
Wax candles are often Ornamented
with designs. Sheet-wax OF the re-
quired colors, having been prepared,
cutters OF different designs stamp out
the figures, which are afterward af-
fixed by hand. Both male and fe.
male employees do this decorating,
which has to be carefully performed.
Churches require many ornamented
wax candles, which must be made OF
the purest wax. They are also used
by families in holiday seasons. One
candle, 5 feet long and 6 inches in di-
aemter, weighing so pounds, was in
the process of decoration when the re-
poFter's visit was made. 1t was one
OF two ordered to decorate church
altar, and the colored designs were
very elegant, showing the purity of
the white body. The cost OF this can
die wes to be $50, or 500 for the
pair.
The tallow candle is also used, but
not to the same extent as formerly.
The process of making the ordinary
candle is similar to that described
above, but there is less labor in pre-
pairing the material before being cast
into the molds. The tallow candles
have market in the South, and are
used by the negroes for dressing their
hair and amounting their bodies.
They are also used for illuminating
purposes in country places, where ker-
osene oil is difficult 10 obtain.

ANOTHER GONE.
John A. Logan Passes Away, After
Brief Illness,

John A. Logan Passes AWAY, After IL
Brief Illness.
John A. Logan died at Washington
three minutes before O'Clock on the
afternoon of the 26th. His DEATH
which came with startling slddenness
to his family and friends, had not been
unexpected by his physicians for some
days. The lurking tendency to brain
complications, which had been present,
in a greater or less degree, and constant
~ increasing in severity during his
entire illness, had prepared them to
expect the worst. The racking pains
which he had suffered during the early
days OF his illness, yielded to treat
ment, but left him in q weak and ex-
hausted condition, from which he new
er rallied, and upon which the fever
proved with increasing violence until
the hour of his death. Alter midnight
his pulse grew weaker and weaker, and
at 4 O'Clock on the last morning his
condition was such as to cause great
lear OF his immediate death. After
this he rallied somewhat, and at the
consultation which was held at s
O'Clock his pulse was found to besome-
what stronger, but bis general condi-
tion was not such as TO give hope
OF ultimate recovery. The physicians
again met In consultation at 1:30 P.
NJ, when it was apparent that the
patient was rapidly sinking and could
live but few hours. At9o'clock the
general revived sufficiently to recognize
his wife, who has been at his bedside
night and day during his entire illness.
As she spoke to him he looked up into
her face, and all who were present
knew that he recognized her. This
was the last manifestation OF con.
sciousness. He then wearily closed
his eyes and sank again into lethargic
sleep from which he never awoke.
